I disagree. Someone who is already 80 to 90% sold on your company before you even talk to them is way better than trying to build brand awareness with somebody you randomly called on a list.

It's a better telemarketing tactic than cold calls but it's still telemarketing dawg.

And trust me, those leads are still only marginally better than cold calls. You just get a bunch of people who have the time to waste that don't give a **** about your product. I'd rather get hung up on.

Point taken, but there's no such thing as a sales process where you don't talk to people at least a little. If I put out an ad for something and somebody calls me, asks me a few questions about what they saw or read, then wants to buy before I even had to open my mouth, that's not really "telemarketing".

I got paid regardless of whether they actually got suckered into the scam part, I always told them upfront not to buy anything once they got to the resort
That sucks. Luckily, companies like Advertising Boost are probably gonna drive a lot of those guys out of business. I'd rather get a free vacation and just pay the resort fees and get my vouchers without all the timeshare bull****.

Because they got a grunt to qualify those leads into trash and cash

I didnt get any financial aid. I had a pel grant for like 1k a semester and i had to take loans for the rest cause the money i made working went towards bills, rent, food. Idk how they determine it but its ****ed. Sucks you cant rely on the fam id prolly have dropped out and did some sort of manual labor apprenticeship if i wasnt able to continue on with my education.
